Happy Birthday to the Foreman at the Lazy Vegan!

The foreman in earlier years! Nice look for the foreman!

Working hard at his studies...in Brazil!

That famous foreman smile!

It was a greatlast week of July and first day of August here at the Lazy Vegan...we celebrated the foreman's 61st birthday a day early and had a very nice time! The "kids" and Grandma Snap came over to help celebrate along with the usual animal crew. Bravo had to be kept on a short leash so he wouldn't do any damage to his healing leg, and he was very happy to be out and about with the birthday crowd. The foreman may be 61 but he has the energy of a 16 year old!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the Lazy Vegan Foreman - here's to many, many more!

Sadly, our beloved peach tree fell. We had noticed it leaning but hadn't braced it and, alas, it split at the trunk. There was one attempt to save it but it quickly broke completely. Poor little peach tree!

Nick, Randy & Paul discuss the tree.

Look who is carrying the hay for the donks!!

Posing with the foreman's birthday roses!

The foreman helped with dinner, too!

Wasabi helped with quality control. She tested a bit of strawberry for the fruit salad to make sure it was o.k.!

The bunny playground was on Saturday this week. Wasabi had a great time hanging out. Above, a bun named Cinnabon relaxes while Wasabi hides in the tunnel.

The lady who runs the playground snuggles with Nicolas- he's the bunny who was abandoned at the doorstep of the Humane Society a month or so ago.

Hanging out in another tunnel- she loves the tunnels!

It was time for a visit from the farrier again. This time both the donkeys were extremely well-behaved.

The foreman took them for a little walk first.

We went to have lunch with Claire at the little house she's been housesitting at...I took the above photo with the self-timer!
